$690 OEM1 from Grant. My first thought opening the box was "Damn, the finish on this thing is perfect. Why can't I ever get one that's all ****ed up like I hear about on the internet?" (I've yet to see one in bad condition IRL.) Threw on some spare MOE furniture I had, and a DD fixed rear. Got an M600U from Arisaka Defense. It's not fancy. First round at 100 yards was about 3" right. Adjusted the rear. Shot a group of 3 rounds that were almost touching just off to the right. Adjusted it a tad more and fired 5 that grouped sub 1" right in the middle. Ammo used was 64gr GDHP.
This time of year I get little time to spend outdoors. So I was a little miffed that 9 rounds in for the day the rifle was already exceeding expectations and hitting right where I wanted it to. I threw in some 55gr Wolf Gold and shot another 500 rounds at various sized BGs out to 300y in decent wind conditions (15-20mph).
Of course there were no malfunctions. The accuracy despite the fixed irons, no free float barrel, and shooting from the sitting position was on point. This rifle was bought for travelling to be cheap and disposable, but it feels like my favorite one now. No heavy ass suppressors or expensive ass lasers. There's no reason to baby it. The best part about my day was when I shot the target above next to some brotatoes who had their badass custom builds with Strike Eagle optics and I outshot all of them despite shooting from the sitting position while they shot from bagged rests. "But MLOK > Keymod homie!" was pretty much all they talked about. I couldn't figure out how a rail attachment method puts rounds on target, unfortunately.
Members of M4C - I'm sorry I didn't buy a 12.5" Midlength by some fly-by-night assembler using cheap components with some bottom of the barrel optic and run into issues to provide a controversial topic for the forum to chat about.
